ECS Update Task definition

This project encompasses a Go script that allows for the seamless updating of an Amazon ECS task definition using a specified Docker image URI. As a versatile alternative to aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials, this script operates independently of any existing task definition files. It optimizes your workflow by automatically selecting the latest task definition. This feature eliminates the need for manual updating and reduces the risk of utilizing outdated task definitions, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of your deployments.
